Recently Legislated Tax Changes

Select a Variable

Description

This variable calculates each state’s relative change in tax burden over a two-year period (in this case, the 2016 and 2017 legislative session) for the next fiscal year, using revenue estimates of legislated tax changes per $1,000 of personal income. This timeframe ensures that tax changes will still be reflected in a state’s ranking despite the lags in the tax revenue data. ALEC and Laffer Associates calculations used raw data from state legislative fiscal notes, state budget offices, state revenue offices and other sources, including the National Conference of State Legislators.
